I essentially, and I did that, by the way, back when I became an entrepreneur for the first time in 2007, I didn't start, my first company was an online dating app, but it didn't start as an online dating app.
I started an app studio and we were launching apps.
We launched quizzes, games, stuff like that until online dating hit.
And then we followed the traction and we doubled down, tripled down on that.
So, but I, to do that, I had to cash out my 401k at the beginning, pay all the penalties, put all my money in it.
I wasn't married.
I didn't have kids, you know, and, and I, and then I raised capital in Silicon Valley and I built, I had to do that.
It required a lot of resources.
And also like I,
now you can execute the same method with less, way less resources with AI.
So the good news is, if you are an idea machine today,
and you don't have the execution abilities of Thomas Edison, okay?
You're given a gift, which is AI essentially helping you build and execute.
So you can mope about jobs being lost due to AI, but you can also say, hey, maybe God has a different plan for me, and you say maybe, even if you get laid off because of AI,
Maybe that's part of the plan.
Maybe that is in your future.
It's forcing your hand to have all these ideas that you had over the years did not execute.
List them and knock them out one by one with AI.
And we can talk about how to do that.
But it's like essentially knock them out one by one until you have a winning idea.
